Cooking became a passion of mine, took after my dad I think. I like to try new recipes and most of the time they turn out good and friends approved. Most of the food I make are local hawaiian grindz, but alot with asian fusion too. Gotta love living in da melting pot!

Acai Bowl

The other Mrs. P told me I could get these smoothie packs from the store (Don Quixote has the cheapest one btw). So I started making my own Acai Bowl. It's good, it's healthy, and it's easy to make!

Blend first 5 ingredients together, pour in a bowl (or cup), top with blueberries, sliced bananas, and granolas.

Note: you can definitely use fresh fruits if you prefer, however, I would recommend you have one frozen item to help with "thickening" the smoothie other wise it'll be all melted. Also, if you ever got any of the fresh fruits over-riped (like banana skin is all brown or strawberries are super soft and dark in color) as if you're about to throw them away, those are the best ones to freeze and reuse for smoothies. Over-riped fruits are usually sweeter, better to make smoothies with. So next time you come across them, just put them in ziplock and toss in the freezer. :)
